Description

The Master of Occupational Therapy program is designed to prepare students for entry-level practice while meeting the needs of working and non-traditional students. The MOT is a 71-credit program and requires five semesters of continuous full-time academic study (including the summer between the first and second year), followed by two 12-week Level II fieldwork placements in two healthcare settings. The program utilizes a blended-learning, hybrid format where nearly 50% of the course content is delivered online and the rest delivered face-to-face on campus eight weekends per semester.

The online experience incorporates best practices in hybrid learning to include directed reading, lectures, podcast, quizzes and assignments. The face-to-face session will include lecture, discussion, group activities, experiential learning and practicum experiences. Students will also supplement classwork with community placement of Level I fieldwork designated each semester. The fieldwork placements will provide opportunities to interact with clients, families and professionals in diverse practice settings. Students will observe and participate in select aspects of the occupational therapy process, under the supervision of an occupational therapist or other profession.

The Master of Occupational Therapy program is designed to:

Prepare students for success in fieldwork, the NBCOT certification exam, and entry-level practice as a generalist practitioner

Mission

Trinity Washington University’s Master of Occupational Therapy program aims to develop competent, caring, and committed generalist practitioners who exemplify core values of respect, justice, and service that are reflective of the occupational therapy profession and Trinity, and are prepared to meet the occupational needs of diverse populations in our community. Our blended learning program is committed to:

Offering high-quality hybrid professional education to a diverse student population;

Providing classroom, clinical and community experiences that enrich student learning and prepare students for current and emerging practice settings in their communities

Establishing strong clinical partnership with the local and global community

Vision

As we develop the Master of Occupational Therapy at Trinity, we envision building a community of faculty, students and alumni with strong ties to the OTA and health profession programs at Trinity, and to the community of Washington, DC. We want our program to be recognized for:

The quality of our faculty, program of study, and clinical experiences;

The professional preparation and quality of our graduates; and

Our contributions to promoting access and health through consultation, collaboration, research, and service.

Philosophy

The Trinity MOT program is designed in accordance with the American Occupational Therapy Association’s Philosophy of Occupational Therapy Education (AOTA, 2007) to meet the missions of Trinity Washington University and the Master of Occupational Therapy program. The program seeks to educate clinicians who embody the core values of Trinity and the profession of occupational therapy and who possess the necessary skills for success in entry-level practice. With practical and fieldwork experiences we develop clinical skills, support evidence-based practices and build professionalism. We are committed to providing innovative teaching, mentoring, and supportive learning to educate strong, caring clinicians who contribute to the practice and profession of occupational therapy.

Occupational Therapy Program Philosophy:

The Trinity MOT program is designed to meet the missions of the University and the OT program. The educational goal is to train clinicians who embody the core values of Trinity and the profession of occupational therapy, and who possess the necessary skills for success in entry-level practice. Educating future professionals is a complex process, and current models of medical education suggest that occupational therapy education must combine academic knowledge with training in clinical skills and professional identity in order to prepare graduates for entry-level practice (Harden, Sowden & Dunn, 1984). The MOT program combines foundational knowledge about occupation, occupational therapy and biomedical and sociocultural contributors to health and disability, with practical and fieldwork experiences that develop clinical skill, support evidence-based practice, and build professionalism. Innovative teaching and professional mentoring support a learning environment to educate strong, caring clinicians who contribute to the practice and profession of occupational therapy.

Students must be prepared to invest considerable time and effort outside of class, and to participate actively in classroom discussions, assignments, practicums, simulations and clinical placements. Students who invest in learning will be challenged to become self-directed learners, reflective and critical thinkers and creative problem-solvers, which is the ultimate goal of all graduate and professional education (Knowles, et al., 1998). These skills and a commitment to lifelong learning are needed for occupational therapy practice in current practice settings, and will provide the skills needed to expand occupational therapy into emerging settings and new communities and populations.

Our View of Learning and Occupational Therapy Education:

In a professional program, learning must be an interactive and reciprocal process that requires both teacher and learner to be involved and committed. The Trinity MOT program recognizes that students come to their professional program with a variety of educational backgrounds and life experiences, as well as different preferred ways of learning. Trinity’s integrated MOT curriculum is designed to help students, with varying backgrounds and learning preferences, make on-going connections between coursework and clinical practice and to apply what they are learning to clinical situations from the first semesters of the program. The curriculum is designed so that core concepts and themes connect between courses and across semesters. Courses are designed with clear learning outcomes that allow students to measure what they are learning and faculty are committed to providing varied learning experiences and teaching methods that make course material accessible and meaningful to every student who enters the program. We believe that this integrated model of professional education will facilitate active learning, build clinical reasoning and professional-practice skills and prepare students from diverse backgrounds for entry-level practice and professional success.

We also believe that students in a graduate program must take responsibility for their own learning and become actively engaged in the learning process. To succeed in this program, students need to be prepared to invest considerable time and effort outside of class and to participate actively in classroom discussions, assignments, practicums, simulations and clinical placements. Students who invest in learning will be challenged to become self-directed learners, reflective and critical thinkers and creative problem-solvers.

Accreditation

ACOTE Accreditation: The entry-level occupational therapy master’s degree program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), located at 4720 Montgomery Lane, Suite 200, Bethesda, MD 20814-3449. ACOTE’s telephone number c/o AOTA is (301) 652-AOTA and its Web address is www.acoteonline.org.

Graduates of the MOT program will be eligible to sit for the national certification examination for the occupational therapist administered by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). After successful completion of this exam, the individual will be an Occupational Therapist, Registered (OTR). In addition, all states require licensure in order to practice; however, state licenses are usually based on the results of the NBCOT Certification Examination. Note that a felony conviction may affect a graduate’s ability to sit for the NBCOT certification examination or attain state licensure.

Occupational therapy students must successfully pass all Level I and Level II fieldwork placements.
